2015 Land Cruiser

The 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser has a loyalty unmatched by any other SUV. The product of over 60 years of global adventure, it’s a sophisticated blend of off-road prowess, on-road comfort and unparalleled refinement. It also offers seating for up to eight passengers After all, adventures are best shared.

2007 VDJ79

The VDJ79 is an evolution of the 70-series Land Cruiser that was first
introduced in late 1984. Though never
offered in the United States, the 70-series is the true inheritor of the
FJ40's no-nonsense spirit. Light and
compact as compared with its 60- and 80-series contemporaries, the 70 has
always maintained a strong
emphasis on capability over creature comfort. Its rugged, simple
sensibilities have helped keep it in production
for over 20 years.

For 2007, the FJ79 was fitted with the brand-new 1VD-FTV engine, Toyota's
first intercooled turbo-diesel V8.

1992 The FZJ80 OZ

The worldwide response to the new 80-series was overwhelming: the main plant had to stay open around the clock for six months straight. That was unprecedented — much like the 80-series itself.

Luxury and capability were integrated like never before. The long-standing solid axles were replaced with a coilspring suspension — but with greater suspension travel. Passengers were met with available leather and a refrigerator — and a space in the dashboard allowed for a two-way radio.

And off-road competence just increased. Full-time 4WD replaced the part-time system, and a locking center differential was added to the drivetrain.

Utilitarian models of the 80 continued to be used on Australian ranches. But luxury models were here to stay. Where would Land Cruiser go from here?

1991 HDJ80 JP

The Japanese HDJ80 is a very different animal from its U.S. counterpart. Equipped
with the 1HD-T turbo-diesel
powerplant and (in most cases) a 5-speed manual transmission, the Japanese FJ80
delivers loads of torque. A
broad gear spread complements the 80-series' inherent capability, producing a
competent off-road vehicle.

1988 FJ62

The FJ62 shares the 60-series category with the FJ60. The notable upgrades from
the FJ60 to the FJ62 were the fuel-injected 4.0-liter 6-cylinder 3F-EFI engine,
an automatic transmission, rectangular headlights, larger sideview mirrors and
power options. Like the FJ60, the FJ62 owners enjoyed plenty of interior space
compared to previous Land Cruisers.

1986 FJ60

When asked about the 60-series, one Land Cruiser mechanic smiles and talks about the mileage on one he'd just
seen: 450,000.*

The all-new 60-series got its start in 1980 with new gasoline and diesel engines, new transmissions and new
luxuries, like a moonroof, sport buckets and a third-row seat.

Toyota was aiming for on-road comfort, but off-road standbys were retained: front and rear solid axles and two
locking differentials. The result was a blended vehicle like no other. Eventually, some 2500 variations would be
made throughout the world.

The mechanic concludes his comments with the story of a guy who's got 650,000 miles* on his Land Cruiser. But
it's not being towed to the junkyard. It's his daily driver.

*These mileage performances are exceptional. Do not expect to obtain the same mileage with your Toyota.

1977 FJ45

Based on the FJ40, the FJ45 is a pickup version of that model. The FJ45 was only available in the United States
from 1963-1967. The FJ45 featured either a fixed hardtop or a removable hardtop. The FJ45 Land Cruiser was
available as a 4-Door Wagon, a Short Bed Pickup or a Long Bed Pickup. While the Long Bed and Wagon models
are rare, the Short Bed version is extremely rare.

Both of the original pickup lengths were available with a fixed or removable top and doors and as a 4-Door
Wagon. All of which are extremely rare.

1970 FJ40

The FJ40 is the most iconic Land Cruiser. It is instantly recognizable: a simple, two-box hardtop with wraparound
rear windows and dual swing-out doors. But durability made the design a legend. According to one expert, it is
still "the standard of the industry," with more 40-series still running than any other off-road vehicle.

The 40-series gave the marque low-range gearing, a jump in horsepower and payload, and a greater
variety of body styles and engines than ever before. And in the 40-series, Toyota's "Land Cruiser strategy" truly
began to cover the earth, with over a million made in 24 years on the market.

1957 FJ25

With real doors, roll-down windows and available air conditioning, the 20-Series brought the BJ-era Land Cruiser
into civilian life. But a subtle design trait on the dashboard foretold Land Cruiser's future: the glove box and
instrument panel were identically shaped and interchangeable, making manufacturing a left-hand- or right-handdrive
version equally easy. For Toyota, foreign markets were the new target.

Toyota called it the "Land Cruiser Strategy:" establish a bridgehead in a new country with Land Cruiser and then
follow it with passenger cars. Other marketing savvy included adjusting chassis length to market demand and
creating pickups, wagons – soft- and hardtops, four-doors and two-doors.

All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. See your Owner's Manual for further information/warnings.

With power comes confidence. Land Cruiser′s Double Overhead Cam (DOHC) 32-valve V8 develops 381 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of torque, but that′s only part of the story. Technologies such as Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and an Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) help maximize useable power throughout the rpm range, giving you unrivaled capability.

A full-array of high-tech off-road handling systems

Multi-terrain Monitor

Demanding off-road situations often make you wish you could check your immediate surroundings for potential trouble. With the Multi-terrain Monitor, you can. Simply press a button to display front, rear and side camera views on the 8-in. navigation screen.

Multi-terrain 4-wheel Anti-lock Brake System

Land Cruiser is designed to handle just about every surface created by Mother Nature—and that goes for its brake system too. In addition to Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA), Land Cruiser’s brake system automatically adapts to surfaces such as sand, gravel or mud to help provide the best possible braking performance for the conditions at hand.

Torsen® limited-slip differential

On road or off, you can never have too much grip. Land Cruiser’s Torsen® limited-slip center differential is engineered to automatically send more power to the wheel or axle with the most traction, and is equipped with a locking feature so you can manually select 50/50 front/rear power distribution in extremely traction-limited situations.

Multi-terrain Select

Challenging terrain requires a different driving strategy. Multi-terrain Select is an innovative system that helps control wheelspin and brake lockup to optimize driving performance over five of the most common off-road surfaces: Rock, Rock & Dirt, Mogul, Loose Rock and Mud & Sand.

Skid plates

Suspension

Land Cruiser rides on an independent double wishbone suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bar up front, and a 4-link rear with coil springs, stabilizer bar and semi-floating axle in the rear. It's a proven system that has stood the test of time.

6-speed automatic transmission

Land Cruiser′s 6-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with Intelligence (ECT-i) is not your average transmission. It adjusts shift logic depending on throttle input, vehicle speed and incline for efficient power delivery in a variety of conditions. It also features a sequential shift mode so you can select the gears manually if desired.

Rigid frame

Stainless steel exhaust

In addition to being corrosion resistant, Land Cruiser′s free-flowing exhaust system was designed with off-roading in mind. The outer edges of the muffler casing have been removed to prevent them from catching on obstacles.

Multi-terrain 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System

Land Cruiser has the ability to go about anywhere, and stop there as well. In addition to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA), Land Cruiser′s brake system automatically adapts to challenging surfaces such as sand, gravel or mud.

Ventilated and heated seats

Observe your surroundings from the comfort of leather-trimmed, multi-stage heated and ventilated front seats. The second-row seats also feature multi-stage heating, so your passengers won’t be left in the cold.

Center console cooler box

Four-zone automatic climate control

You’ve never experienced climate control like this. The driver, front passenger and two second-row passengers can control their own environments with the help of 28 vents located throughout the cabin. On extremely cold days, a Positive Temperature Coefficient heater warms air instantly by passing it over an electrically heated ceramic element.

Rear-seat DVD entertainment system

When you're crossing the globe, there's no need to leave civilization behind. Rear-seat passengers can enjoy the latest movies or even play video games on the standard rear-seat DVD entertainment system, which features a 9-inch color screen.

Smart Key System

When you approach Land Cruiser with the Smart Key fob in your pocket or purse, the interior illuminates automatically, the doors and back hatch open with the touch of a handle, and the engine starts with the push of a button.

Expeditions often require the assistance of an entire crew. Fortunately, you’ll have room for seven talented associates (or your family) in Land Cruiser’s commodious cabin. And they can all ride in comfort, thanks to multi-stage heated and ventilated front seats, a multi-stage heated 40/20/40 split heated second-row seat with center armrest, and a 50/50 split third-row seat.

81.7 cu. ft. of cargo capacity

With the third- and second-row seats folded, you’ll be greeted by a cavernous 81.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity. So the next time you’re wondering if that super-size, bargain-price flat screen will fit, the answer is probably yes.

Active front headrests

In certain lower-speed, rear-end collisions, a bracket and cable system in the lower region of the front seats triggers the upward movement of the active front headrests to help position them toward the back of the occupants’ heads.

LATCH

Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) provides an added measure of safety for the smaller members of your family. LATCH includes low-mounted anchors on outboard second-row seats and tether anchors for all second-row seating positions.

Pre-Collision System

Land Cruiser’s Pre-Collision System (PCS) is designed to detect other vehicles and obstacles in its path and help optimize how the front passenger seatbelts respond if a collision is imminent. If a collision cannot be avoided, the Brake Assist (BA) system is placed in standby mode, a warning is displayed, and a buzzer sounds.

Side-impact door beams

To help provide extra occupant protection when the vehicle is struck from the side, steel beams are located inside all doors, and are designed to absorb energy and reduce the chance of intrusion into the cabin.
